Default My new rims/tires. You like?

I forgot to post these on the Cdn side. I dont know of anyone around with a black C4 with these rims, and 315/30/18 out back, so it's me if you see the car.

Let me know what you think? Sorry its not a C5 or a C6.

Thanks Mo! It was a gamble going with the rims/tires, but when I found out how light there are, and that I could run 315's out back, I was sold.

Texas plate? I dont want to fully advertise my ontario marker.

Dude, looks great. Now lower that baby.

and Ricky, I think you're the only peep here thats allowed to carry a gun....advertising your plates likely wouldn't be much of an issue.

Mike. Those tires are the exact same tire height as stock, 25.7 inches tall. I have always thought about lowering the car. I think 1/2" inch would look nice, 1" might be too much.

How do you keep people from seeing your plates when you are driving around Ontario?

I here you, I've wanted to lower mine since the day I got it but I think I'd have trouble getting into my driveway if I did drop the front any more than it already is.

Look all I am saying is that with serious looking rims and tyres like that, it jsut makes the wheel well gap look more obvious. It will make your beast look even more lethal.

Looks good Rick. Even if you decide not to lower it. At least you'll be speed bump friendly. I've always loved the higher stance anyways. Goes back the the Starsky and Hutch days. Now that was a nice setup.

Rick, your ride looks sweet. Will look nicer in the new house also!. Go to Brofasco and get some ten inch bolts and lower the rears for $8 bucks.

So you steal someone else's?

The car looks good BTW. On C4's I like the stock rims too

Lowering a bit would be better though...
